Good Brit Horror

Rating: 7/10 (12 March 2007)

Okay, so we've seen it all a thousand times before, agreed? Zombie plague spreads around the globe, and there are a handful of humans fighting for survival - pretty much run-of-the-mill stuff, really. Danny Boyle manages to lift this film out of the 'average' bracket, though. A very English film, with British Actors, it does have a slight cheap feel about it, yes, but the atmosphere in this film is very tense indeed. There's a bit of gore, too, and the film builds up nicely to the end where the "End Song" plays hauntingly in the background. If you have the DVD version with the alternate ending, I strongly recommend you watch that one.
